America drops from “free” category on economic indexHeritage Foundation, The Foundry: “The United States’ direction today is a dangerous one, even when compared to the country’s state of affairs just one year ago, as revealed in the 2010 Index of Economic Freedom, which we are releasing this morning in a joint project with The Heritage Foundation and The Wall Street Journal. The Index analyzes just how economically ‘free’ a country is, and this year America saw a steep and significant decline, enough to make it drop altogether from the ‘free’ category, the first time this has happened in the 16 years we’ve been publishing these indexes.”
